The Low Probability of Racoons is Peter Howards website of poems and poetry sources, including the wonderful haiku generator...
For example...
Rain fears a hard child.
Sad, sad spring waits and leaves play.
Mud plays for hands melt.

Snow... Not Unusual But...
January 29, 2004
What a mad snowstorm... one minute it was just getting dark, almost 5.00 I guess... I was sitting at the kitchen table working on the toofriedfish website for Chris and vaguely aware of water (rain I assumed) running down the kitchen window...
Then there was flash which I guessed was a train arcing over at Tulse Hill Staion [I'm up on the 6th floor], followed by a huge clap of thunder!!!
When I looked up the whole building was engulfed in a blizzard of snow, like a giant South London snow dome! Anything more than 10 metres away was lost in a wall of whiteness, occassionally flashing into view through the lightning.
The storm lasted about 20 minutes and by 5.30 the snow had practically stopped falling, the whole place covered in a couple of inches of snow!!! Although I am only guessing from what i can see from the window and measuring snowfall is obviously a dark art, as this piece from the digital snow museum will testify!
Phew, came over quite poetic there! Sorry... I've never experienced a snow storm with thunder and lightning before. At least not that I remember anyway... I didn't even think such a thing was likely.
I'm sure I wouldn't have enjoyed it half as much if I was out in it mind!!!

Mr Sandman...
January 27, 2004
There's a coincidence... after mentioning the David Mckean link the other day I came across, by way of the anti-mega site's [very] lengthy links list, neilgaiman.com, where there is a piece by Gaiman on McKean...
And am I missing something or are these things not being widely reported, but yesterday I found out that Spalding Gray [swimming to cambodia] is missing, presumed dead! suicide off the Staten Island ferry, allegedly and Helmut Newton was killed in a car crash last Friday.
Given that I wasn't exctly up with current affairs at the weekend. I think I can be forgiven for not knowing this sooner. But I fear Spalding has been missing for a fortnight!

Spaced
January 26, 2004
Spent all day in the pub saturday, even won a few games of pool! ... followed by dinner (+ more drinking) and an Elvis impersonator (don't ask!). Many photos of everybody taking turns with the Vegas style Elvis specs...Consequently the only thing I was good for was the TV on sunday... watched every episode of spaced on DVD!
Sam in Elvis specs!

David McKean
January 23, 2004
Chris put me on to this site by bullets of autumn last night, that amongst other things, has an extensive collection of David McKean images
Unfortunately, Amazon only seem to have one of his works available, Slow Chocolate Autopsy, but this is a collaboration with Iain Sinclair, whose London Orbital is on my ever burgeoning list of books to read... If anybody has a copy of David's "Voodoo Lounge", they could bear to part with. contact me here!

Fantastic!

Digitalia
January 20, 2004
The point of this site is not only to provide somewhere for my digital doings, both graphic and musical, but at the same time it to provide a more elaborate links page and sort of aide memoir of my meanderings across the internet.Earlier today for instance whilst checking out some of the Bloggies highlights, selected by plasticbag.org, I found myself at the wonderful site of Ray Caesar, by way of Giornale Nuovo.
Ray's work is purely digital... although at first this may be hard to believe. He makes use of the textures around us as he builds realistic yet unbelievable images. Like characters from a Huxleyian fairytale. If ever anyone should produce a graphic novel of Brave New World, Ray's the man! Take a look at this, from one of Ray's galleries on his site.

No Relevance?
Stumbled across the NoRelevance.com site today... A mecca for type junkies everywhere. Next time you are mocked for some casual remark about a logo or typeface, point that person here. Obsessive? I think so... but still as Art says on the site, "better on the net than in a shoebox"!Categories: Art, Web, Photography
